  • Minuscule Microprojector Promises Bright, Touchable Displays Of The Future

    techcrunch.com 1 week, 5 days ago

    These Fraunhofer microprojectors are still quite a ways off from being implemented into real phones, but the technology is certainly interesting. Based on an insect’s compound eye, the projector is a wafer of tiny LEDs that can twist and turn depending on position. This means there is no “keystoning” and the beams striking the surface will always be “crisp and clear.” “Our projector consists of hundreds of tiny microprojectors in an array, each of which generates a complete image,” said Marcel Sieler, a res

  • New 'Array Projector' Modeled On Insect Eyes

    msnbc.com 2 weeks ago

    Fraunhofer has created a new type of projector that uses hundreds of tiny lenses instead of one big one, not unlike an insect's compound eye. Using these "microprojectors" has a number of handy benefits - aside from looking cool.

Eyes are organs that detect light and convert it into electro-chemical impulses in neurons. The simplest photoreceptors in conscious vision connect light to movement. In higher organisms the eye is a complex optical system which collects light from the surrounding environment, regulates its intensity through a diaphragm, focuses it through an adjustable assembly of lenses to form an image, converts this image into a set of electrical signals, and transmits these signals to the brain through complex neural pathways that connect the eye via the optic nerve to the visual cortex and other areas of the brain. Eyes with resolving power have come in ten fundamentally different forms, and 96% of animal species possess a complex optical system. Image-resolving eyes are present in molluscs, chordates and arthropods.
